Learn how to set up a “Studio in a Box”!
If you are searching for a way to set up a functional place to paint within a small footprint, then this workshop is for you.

This workshop is for those who want to streamline their painting practice while getting the full benefit of great painting materials and an efficient set up.
Space is limited, please RSVP to (310) 351-2346

From ethereal lines in a mythical creature to geometric shapes in a cityscape, Nishinaka draws from fantasy and reality to create monochromatic objects in relief. His fascination with art started at a young age, as a fan of Norman Rockwell, 1960s cartoons, Marvel comic books and the Japanese comic book “Astro Boy.” After attending University of California, Los Angeles, he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Peter Carr, a local Palisadian, will be discussing his art and artist process with us on Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at the Palisades Branch Library from 6:00 pm -7:30pm.
Em Allyn will be discussing the designation "artist" and how it challenges us. For example, when or in what context do we call ourselves artists as opposed to waiting for others to recognize us as such. Further the question of whether, once you either choose or are given the title or role of "artist" then everything you do becomes somehow a part of or enmeshed in your art? Further I'd like to examine and discuss how interest/aptitude in one field of art so often corresponds to an interest in and aptitude for other areas of expression.
Teresa Bernadette will present a selection of drawing, painting, and sculpture at an artist talk in the Palisades Branch Library. A multidisciplinary local artist, Teresa's work looks to the ancient, archaic, and arcane as tools of innovative storytelling. Experimenting across media, scale, and form, they wrestle with ephemerality, interrogating the bittersweetness of time and transformation.
Their work has appeared in local group shows and in publications. Four of their pieces will appear in the upcoming Screenland 5K tribute to Motion Picture Magic, Sun 5/10/24 in Culver City. The run will take place between Culver Blvd. and Washington Blvd. For more information click here.
